When out Of the body the soul j. sent.

AS the smoke flies out when il finds a vent,

To find the place where all spirits are

And sLrel. this is enough to bear,
The long day 5 work in the suns hot glare,
The doubt AMI loss which breed despair.
The anguish OF hatiied hoping.
And when the end of it all has come.
And the soul has won the right to its home,
do no; believe il must wander and roam
Through the infinite spaces cropping.
No.wild may the storm be.and dark the day.
And the shuddering soul may clasp its clay,
Afraid to go and unwilling to stay:
But when il girds il for going,
With rapture of sudden consciousness,
think it awakes to knowledge OF this,
That heaven earth's closest ncighbor Is,
And only waits for our knowing:
That It's but step from dark to day,
From tire worn-out tent and the burial clay
To rapture of youth renewed for aye.
And the smile of the saints uprisen:
And that just where the soul. perpiexed and

are made in this way and regretted, while
something that was far more necessary must
in consequence be gone without.

A very violent controversy is going on ir
most Of the papers on the proposal of Sig.
Negri, syndic of Milan, to erect the monr-

1873. The Milanese, remembering Napo-
Icons efforts for the liberation of Lomhardy,
and his Triumphant entry into Milan by the
side of Victor Emmanuel in 1879, opened a
subscription to erect a monument to him.
The well known sculptor Bsrzaghi was
charged with its execution, and at the close
of the Milan exhibition in 1851 it was to have
been erected But unexpected opposition
arose from strong faction of the advanced
party They rendered that in 1867 Louis

Former Rock Islanders Letter.
Editor of the Argus:
WICHITA, KAN, March 25-I have
seen copy of the ANGUS in which was
an article headed Woe at Wichita" and
am very much surprised. For your
better information allow me to say that
the boom has not busted There are
from one thousand to twelve hundred
buildings now in course of erection, and
contracts already made for 1887, aggre-
eating near IS, 100000. You will have
an opportunity on July 4th to visit the
Peerless Princess. in the occasion of 1he
opening of the c., R |. & p. railway to
this city, and like one Of old will! exclaim
that the half has not been told. Ii the
citizens of Rock Island were as united and
constant in working for the upbuilding of
their city as are the citizens of Wichita,
it would be blessed thing for them, and
by the dsbandment of your factions and
united effort of your intelligent and
Influential citizens in determination to
build up your city by encouraging and
aiding manufactures. railroads, etc, much
would be accomplished which would re-
dound to the honor of her people. AS
an earnest that / have not taken any
stock in the bursting of the boom here,
would say that have been buying quite
literally of real estate this week.

II was worth a rttnnr which nrnha nj q
had its origin in Kansas City, which was
in effect that panic over sudden decline
| in real estate prevailed in Wichita, and
that in word the great boom there was
busted" Such disasters often over;ake
town which has made the phenomenal
advancement that Wichita has IN the past
few years. The rumors were given as
rumors only; not as facts. and there are
none better pleased than the ARGUS to
note that the reports have no foundation
in fact There are a great many Rock
Islanders in this Kansas city, and the
citizens here are always interested in
hearing anything pertaining to them
